HERON LAKE — Alex Meyer belted a two-run home run in the bottom of the fifth inning Sunday afternoon, helping lift the Heron Lake Lakers to a 7-6 victory over the Pipestone A’s in the opener of a First Nite/Gopher League amateur baseball doubleheader at Laker Field.

Meyer (three runs scored) and Ike Rogers were both 2-for-2 to lead Heron Lake at the plate, while Ethan Duffy (two-run double), Lon Eichenberger (RBI single), Eric Milbrath (RBI single), Thomas Albrecht (RBI single) and Kirk McBreen each had a base hit for the Lakers.

Matt Franks pitched six innings and earned the win for Heron Lake, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three batters. Albrecht tossed the seventh for the save, working out of a basesloaded jam after allowing one run on a pair of hits, an error and a hit batsman.

Greg Quist was 3-for-4 with a double and two RBIs for Pipestone, while Nate Alfson went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run in the first inning. Colin Taubert and Brandan Alfson (double) had the other hits for the A’s.
